The Spurs played well in the first, but lost it when it counts in the 3rd period. Anyone who knows about basketball knows that the 3rd period is the most important part of a game. So the Spurs, in essence, went passive in the game by choking away the 3rd period.

If they can do it, so can I.

The passive voice takes the edge off of anything by rendering a sentence unintelligible. Put another way: Rendering sentences unintelligible is how the edge is taken off of anything by the voice that is considered passive.

A beatdown was delivered to us

When disguising intentions is what is to be done, the passive voice is used by me.

Going strong to the hoop for the most of the game was not done by Timmah. Making shots wasn’t done by the rest of the team. Breakdowns on defense were committed by the Spurs. As a result, the Western Conference’s top seed won’t be held by the Spurs.

The losing of the Dallas Mavericks to the hapless Seattle Sonics later that night was the only good news to come on the day. Happy is what I am when losing is the result of games played by the Dallas Mavericks.

Anyhow, annoying is what the passive voice is…

Bad is what mass transit can be

A new campaign has been developed by the Boston Subway system. Sexual harassment is highlighted by the campaign. It will be liked by no one • gropers and the groped — and more problems will be created by it, according to a prediction by me. Here is where a picture taken by the Boston Globe follows:

Plagiarism was committed by a Lonely Planet author, and drugs were sold by him, too. The girlfriend of Thomas Kohnstamm told him about Colombia, a nation in whose consulate she interned. And the dope was peddled so that the meager salary of him could be augmented.CNN

Weaselry is what Dr. Phil did

A change of heart was had by television pinhead Dr. Phil. One of the Florida teen cheerleaders, for whom a beating was participated in, had her bail posted by the staff of television’s favorite head shrinker. But backing down is what Dr. Phil did after there was an explosion of controversy by the public. Now, that crime won’t be highlighted by his show.Central Florida News

Stereotyping was done by the Democratic frontrunner when bitterness of small town folks was spoken about by him. Stupid is what he was for doing so. The race is what it’s up to him to lose, and doing it is what he seems to be trying.CNN

When crazy is how geeks go

Selling a Twitter account with 1,500 followers is what the founder of Rocketboom is doing. A daily videoblog is what Rocketboom is, and founding it is what Andrew Baron did. Now, a stunt of publicity is being pulled off by him. Dumbasses are what some of these Web 2.0 clowns are.TechCrunch
